    You can dualboot if you want. i use linuxmint (www.linuxmint.com) and i can use my built in microphone and cam. it comes working for sites like gmail / tinychat/ youtube to detect your cam/mic etc..

    there are programs you can use like 'cheese!' to take pics and 'kdenlive' are good for editing videos.

    Hope that helps.
